Current inside fuse is regular? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

soldier

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'is regular?' is the definition.
(regular can mean a regular soldier)

'current inside fuse' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'current' could be 'i' (physics symbol) and 'i' is found within the answer.
'fuse' could be 'solder' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'solder' is found in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for soldier that I've seen before include "Person serving in army" , "Member of a fighting force" , "Army man" , "Member of the armed forces" , "Server in army" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
